2011 Flapjack Challenge

This year's Flapjack Challenge will be Saturday December 3, 2011 beginning at 10am on the Winnebago High School campus.

This event is designed as a friendly "mini" bot (less than 25 pounds) competition AND a great training opportunity to get everyone ready for the FIRST Kick-off in January. There is no registration fee. Winnovation expects to field three "mini" bots, with four or five area teams joining us for the day.

Friends and family are invited to watch the competition, enjoy some awesome pancakes (hence the "Flapjacks"), and start holiday shopping during our wonderful basket raffle.

Rules for the competition are available for download here. Plus our Animation Subteam put together a game video to illustrate the action.

Additional logistical details on both the flapjacks and the challenge will be posted here over the next few weeks. If you have any questions please email Karen Hill.
